Description

Polecat Hollow road is a fun doubletrack climb that starts from the French broad. If you're on a mountain bike this is an easy green, if on a drop bar bike gravel etc then more like a blue due to loose gravel. Beware that it can become overgrown during the summer. It's not impassable but some may consider it annoying.
